I'm sure this has been discussed but I must of missed it. Is Revolution going to open on opening day or will it open on he same day the rest of mardi gras opens?

according to the TRs, it doesn't even have a queue yet.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

With what they have left to do to the ride (visually from what I saw), they could have it up and running this weekend.

Of couse that is just a guess. As SFGA Bob stated, the queus havent been installed but I am sure that is a quick thing to take care of.

Physically, the ride itself looks complete.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

It's not taking them 'forever'. A wild mouse is a very easy ride to assemble (it's not tall and there is a simple structure). They just started working on it recently. So, if you think about it, getting a new coaster built and running in a month is pretty good timing.

How long do you think the queue will be and how many minutes or hours do u think it will take to get on the ride. I know that this is probobly a stupid question, but I've probly only been on two flat rides is my life because i usually get sick.

Being that Revolution is something totally different from the other flats in the park and that its a new attraction for the park, expect decent size lines for awhile.

These rides are of decent capacity though.

I'm assuming that it is if they have the supports and other stuff to begin construction.

I'd say it depends how long the actual queue lines are made. If it's got a ton of switchbacks in it, then expect a few lines for awhile. Espicially for King Chaos or Revolution. If it's only a couple of rows long it shouldn't be too bad.
Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2
Coaster Count: 444

Can large people ride Revolution and King Chaos or are the OTSR like Giant Drop where you need it down so far and are the lap bars on King Chaos like Raging Bull where you need a certain amount of clicks?

I honestly don't know what to expect from Revy's line. I don't think it will be giant thrill ride Giant Drop type line but I also don't think it will be small nice Orbit type line. We'll just have to wait and see.
